Hello everyone. I hope you all had a nice weekend. I'm rather glad it's over. I actually enjoy Mondays. It's been a little crazy in my town this morning ~ our one & only bank was robbed! He's on the loose & they have put the school in lockdown. Eeeek! This bank is right across the road from my house. The helicopters are buzzing overhead. Very scary.

I have a few things for your viewing pleasure today. Below is a very old "sewing basket." It's made of wood & chock full of buttons, yo-yo's, pins, needles etc. Don't forget to click on the image to enlarge.



Here's the sid eview of the little plaque that I made (Burpee Seeds.) I've made 4 of these & attached a sawtooth hanger to the back. This vintge image was from an actual 1934 catalog that I used to have. I've "distressed" the wood & sanded the edges to keep with the old-time look. (SOLD ~ two to Jimi, thank you.) Two more still available.


Who doesn't love "Shiney Brites?" These are in wonderful condition. (SOLD - Thank you Amy W.)

Cute little Pixies. Wouldn't they look cute in a wreath? (SOLD - Thank you Jenny.)

Christmas books of long ago. I have two, one dated 1947 (The Golden Christmas Book), & "Sing For Christmas" (1943.) (SOLD ~ both Christmas books. Thanks Lisa.)


Here is the cover. The spine is a little tattered, but is really a very darling book. It measures 11 x 8-1/2."

And a "Christmas Tree Door Cover." Here are the little ornaments that come with this cute item. It doesn't appear that it's ever been used. The tinsel is unopened.


I have to apologize with the very incorrect date on all of my photos. I messed up the camera this morning without realizing it. Thanks for taking a look. I hope you have a very happy & blessed week. I'm going to go grab my binoculars & see how they're making out with the bank robber suspect. There are police cars everywhere and they're sending in the SWAT team!
